Hello,
I would be very greatful if someone could help me with this problem. 2 x 230V flood lights are switched by a system consisting of 2 x 12V PIR sensors via a relay type setup with a control box. The 12 and 230v wiring goes into the relay box. There is some sort of control box (12V I think)...

Evening gents and gentesses,
have a customer with an electric actuated door on their wine cellar - like you do. The 'key' that the install firm fitted is just an ordinary EM test switch, so not exactly secure, and they'd like me to fit a proper one. But they'd also like one that looks like a...
Doing a rewire at the moment in an empty house. I am using RCBO's mostly so when i got 1 room complete i wired the 4mm radial into the RCBO so we could get the kettle going.
After several brews i went to disconnect it only to find i had wired it into a 6 Amp RCBO!
The trip never operated once...

An old fuse board with only 4 fuses 1 5amp, 1 15amp and 2 30amp fuses has a VOEL CB as the ADS for the whole board. I was adding to an outside circuit, one more light, using SWA cable and whisker boxes for a junction.

I'm from Holland and the idea my electrical installation wasn't safe never crossed my mind. I live in Thailand now and things are a bit different here, something I first noticed when my first pc was fried. It was then I had the sockets replaced and ground and put a surge protection unit in...

Had to install an 80A 30ma RCD today to replace a Voltage operated trip. Customer wasn't interested in a new consumer unit. Had a fair bit of difficulty terminating the 25mm tails using the unsuitable enclosure I bought to house the RCD. Any advice on the best one to use for when an RCD is...

Thanks in advance.

I am wondering if anyone can name me a manufacturer that makes floodlights that work via a remote control and/or a remote PIR with a battery in it. I know they exist because I have come across such a system a while ago however I cannot remember the name.:confused:
The system I came across had...
